Wadley Cottages, Faringdon, Oxfordshire SN7

Upon entering through the original front door, you are welcomed into the hallway, where you will find stairs rising to the first floor and ample storage. At the front of the house is the living room, centred around the fireplace. This has been opened into the dining room, creating a wonderful sociable space for entertaining.

At the back of the cottage is the kitchen, which was extended many years ago and offers further potential (STPP) to extend again. It is fitted with a range of wall and base units, as well as space for white goods. There is also a downstairs bathroom, fitted with a modern white suite, and an airing cupboard completing the downstairs accommodation.

On the first floor are three bedrooms: Two doubles and a single bedroom fitted with a shower and cloakroom. The largest bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and has stairs leading to the top floor, which could be used as an office or dressing room, with Velux windows.

Externally, the front garden is laid to lawn and enclosed by hedges and mature trees. This wraps around the side and rear of the house, allowing ample space for planting and borders. Closest to the back of the house is a patio with access to the outbuildings/storage areas; one side is used for storage and the other as a utility room. There is also a large driveway with ample parking, leading to a double L-shaped garage.

The historic market town of Faringdon, dating back at least to the 12th century, has a thriving community and amenities such as the Leisure Centre, Library, Faringdon Community College, The Elms and Folly View primary schools as well as The Old Station Nursery, doctors’ and dentists’ surgeries and The Place Family Centre. Buses travel from the town to private schools at Abingdon. The town now boasts three large supermarkets.

Faringdon is also ideally positioned for the A420, leading to the A34, M40 and M4 and mainline railway services from Swindon, Oxford, Oxford Parkway and Didcot Parkway. There is a frequent bus service through the town from Swindon to Oxford and back, linking to rail services and airports.

The Tower on Folly Hill was built by Lord Berners in 1935 and affords panoramic views across four counties. For over 20 years, the town has been twinned with Le Mêle-sur-Sarthe in France and more recently with Konigstein im Taunus in Germany. In 2004, Faringdon became the first Fairtrade town in the South East of England.
